I don't know what the point of his comments/question to Tim was. Is he trying to start controversy?

[The Red Hood]

Yes thank you! someone here thinks the same way I do but I have to ask what are your reasons for hating him P.S. Woai Living remarked on how Van Gundy made that comment about san antonio they as always blew it all out of proportion the actually said that he was on the same boat as Mark Cuban WTF?

Is Don Harris the biggest Dip Sh_t ever?
Yes


I don't know what the point of his comments/question to Tim was. Is he trying to start controversy?
Yes, as he is also the only one that kept making an issue of Bruce's foul.
Don Harris is a moron.

[Borosai]

Who is Don Harris?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What a retard. I'm surprised he didn't follow up with 'hey Tim, I think Avery's a great guy. Don't you think the same?'

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

"Tim, Tony is playing great. Do you think you should be Finals MVP, or Tony?"

What the fuck?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

He should be shot in the face without a blindfold.

Michael Wilbon making a case for whining to the media by Brown because it changes the way the refs call it



omg Mike Wilbons faith scale just dipped below Harris'


he's saying it blatantly has an effect when you whine

[xamila rey]

i think he also asked Tim if he would vote for Tony....

i love Timmy answer, he said he would and that he only cares about the 4 ring.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I've lost all respect for Wilbon here in the Finals. Dude is pouting because he can't slobber Lebron's knob.

Not just wilbon, but kornhiser from pti has been bitching about the Spurs as well.

[Mr. Peabody]

He basically told Tim that he polled the media and they feel that Parker is the MVP; however, the fans in San Antonio think Duncan is the MVP. He then asked Duncan whether he would vote for TP as MVP and Duncan replied that he didn't really care who got it. But what was the point of the question? What else did Harris expect Duncan to say? Did he think Duncan would say "No, Tony doesn't deserve it. I do."?

WTF?! Is he for real?? No wonder a lot of players don't want to talk to him.

And ESPN needs to stfu with their "lebron was fouled and if it was called lebron would get 3 free throws to tie the game". They say it likes it's a freaking fact.

He is becoming as big a Lebron whore as Ahmad Rashad was Jordan's whore.

That wasn't a foul :madrun Lebron should thank Bruce for the gentle back rub b/c that's all I saw. Didn't even effect his shot unless he's tickleish.... I guess I'm too much in favor of "letting the players play" when it comes to playoff basketball. That would really be fucked up if they blew a whistle for a massage.

They just replayed Larry Johnson's 4-pt play in 1999, in which the EXACT SAME PLAY was given continuation, and the NBA SAID THEY WERE WRONG. Apparently the NBA said that in that situation, it's on the floor, not a shooting foul.

Ah. Gotcha. You are correct. He wouldn't have just automatically made the shots. Sorry, I missed your point. Bowen did foul him, and he would have gotten continuation in my opinion. Regardless, it was a bad decision by Bowen because it puts the decision on the potential outcome of the game into the hands of the officials to make a judgment call. If that were Lebron fouling Manu in the same situation, you guys would be losing your minds.

[SA210]

wasn't it you sa210 who said that Don Harris made your email sound like it was his idea DAMN I HATE WOAI WITH THE PASSION :pctoss
Yep, he's a moron. He steals people's ideas, creates controversy when there doesn't need to be and makes a tremendous amount of misleading statements, and has also picked against the Spurs a couple of times when we won. He even picked Shaq over Duncan to start a team a few years back. :lol

[Buddy Holly]

Bowen did foul him, and he would have gotten continuation in my opinion.

Seeing as how there is no continuation on jumpshots how exactly does he get a continuation?

[LuvBones]

Judging from all the people who have mixed opinions on whether Lebron was in the act of shooting or not should be enough for ESPN to report it that way and not like it's a fact Lebron would have received 3 free throws.

[Obstructed_View]

Bill Walton said that he didn't think it was a shooting foul, too. Obviously it's a judgment call. I seem to recall Allen Iverson getting at least one, maybe two continuations against the Spurs in the first round that were genuinely puzzling. I reiterate: Bad decision by Bowen in that situation, especially if the refs don't know the team's intention is to foul before he shoots the ball.

I'm done arguing about calls. Deck chairs on the titanic. Game over. Get out the brooms. Have a good night, guys.

[TVI]

:lol Um, it is a fact. He WAS fouled, and if it had been called Lebron would have gotten three free throws.Ridiculous. Only three things could have happened:

foul called in the act of shooting -- three free throws (bailout call...not likely)
foul called, but not in the act of shooting -- ball out on the side (second most likely)
no foul called (most likely outcome - refs letting the players decide the game)

[GrandeDavid]

Don Harris has skills at nothing. He has no talent and its a poor reflection on the talent the San Antonio media pulls. Weak.

Marc Jackson annoyed the hell out of me this game too. He kept saying Lebron was making "grown man plays", or something like that. I was like what the hell is this guy talking about?

I know it's silly, but I cannot watch WOAI anymore because of that "bonehead" Don Harris. He predicted that Phoenix would win the championship In '05 and he predicted that Dallas would win this year. He acts so self important. I used to like him, when the Spurs won the championship in '99 he put together a great montage that actual made me teary eyed.

Gotta disagree with you here. It was clearly in the act of shooting.

The part of the argument that is fallacious however is the notion that LeBrick would have hit all three to tie it up.

It's still an adventure at the line for him. I don't see him hitting all three pressure packed shots.

[scandals4u]

He wasn't in the act of shooting it was early and yes it was a foul. Don harris was out to lunch when he asked those lame questions. I used to watch that news cast and sports cast but quit watching them when they started trying to make news instead of just reporting it. Makes me wonder what the players say about the reporters they must think the majority of them have the IQ of a gnat.

Reason # 815 ABC's coverage sucks. He really does not know too much about the game compared to someone like Van Gundy. That play where he thought it was a charge on Manu, wtf? Then when a Cav does the same thing, calls it "drawing the contact." Love how Van Gundy called him out on that, and always calls him out when he's being an idiot.

I loved that, too. I was yelling at the TV that Sideshow Bob's feet weren't even close to being set when Van Gundy told him he was wrong. I thought the rules on charging had suddenly changed. It was a bad call among many tonight, but Harris is becoming less and less tolerable. Maybe he's fishing for a job offer from SI.

And then everyother camera shot of Lebron when the game is not in play is of him biting his finger nails.

He certainly was one last night. That question was, I believe,intended to provoke controversy, but if Tim took it seriously all it could actually accomplish was internal hard feelings among spurs players. You could tell that Tim didn't like the question either. It was a hurtful question to ask of the team MVP, and it had no redeeming social value. It really, really, really made Harris look bad, and if there ends up being bad feelings between Tim and Tony for it we can expect Harris to blow it up. That was just awful.

[ambchang]

To me, the play at the end of the game was definitely a foul, and it was in the act of shooting.
Lebron picked up his dribble when he got fouled, and he shot it in one motion. It was a stupid mistake by Bowen.

[degenerate_gambler]

True Don Harris story:


He used to date my sister back in the day. He was at my parent's home one evening w/my sister and they were sitting around talking while the 10 o'clock news was on. My dad was saying something to my sister when Harris tells my dad to "be quiet, sports is on".

That was the last time I ever saw him over there.

Van Gundy: "O so when Ginobili does the same play against Varejao it is a offensive foul" Jackson:"The difference is Lebron James say meet me at the basket you want to come at me I will draw the contact" Van Gundy:"How do you always know what these guys are saying" :lol

[BacktoBasics]

I think it was a foul but I also think the Refs let it go to give James an opportunity to hit the jumper. If the ref blows the wistle right when Bowen touches him its not in the act of shooting. The ref held back because it wasn't going to affect James getting the shot off and its good to see the officials attempting to let the game be decided by the players not the zebras.

James said in the post game that it was incidental contact and it didn't affect his shot. He was given the opportunity to tie the game and he didn't. I think it was a good no call.

Don Harris is annoying as heck. His Avery Johnson voice is tired. His, "you heard it here first" is almost always wrong because I usually read it first here on Spurstalk or on ESPN.

[CosmicCowboy]

Spurs had a foul to give.

Lebron was fouled and then tried to make an off balance continuation from too far out.

LeBron had Bowen beat or Bruce wouldn't have made the little grab from behind.

leBron had time on the clock to take two more steps to the three point line and put up an uncontested shot.

LeBron decided to put it in the hands of the refs instead by forcing the shot from way outside.

Refs didn't call it. Game over.

This is the finals LeBron. Don't count on the refs to bail you out on the last play of the game.

Feet don't have to be set for it to be a charge (though it often is used as an indicator of establishing that you are in the correct defensive position). The big key is being either perpendicular to the offensive player or directly between the player and the basket, neither of which was the case with Varejao. Of course Manu did jump into him and I HATE that, so I'd go with offensive foul on that one.

If they were going to call Parker for the offensive foul earlier in the game, they were going to call Manu for lowering his shoulder. Neither was a foul in my opinion.
